Romans 5:2, Access to God’s Favour

Romans 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Our salvation in Christ brings us access to God’s unfailing and inexhaustible favour. This blessing of God’s grace is appropriated by faith. And this blessed standing before God begins when we become a child of God and continues forever! It is mind boggling as we are brought to the realisation of this great privilege we have in Christ. This access for the believer is by way of prayer to the Father in heaven in the name of Jesus Christ.

Whenever we have any need, we can call to the Father in heaven to supply and He hearkens to our cry each time. The psalmist testified how he loved his LORD who has been his ready helper.

Psalm 116:1-10 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. 2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. 3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. 4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. 5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. 6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. 7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. 8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. 9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. 10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

Truly, we have a great God in Jesus Christ whom we can through life’s pathway. Have you any need? Do take time to call upon the Lord. Amen.
